The Back Button Utility for YUI 3 provides a simple API for detecting when a page is returned to via the back button. Arbitrary data can be stored on the page and retrieved when returning to the page.

The Back Button Utility is not a full-fledged history manager. Its sole purpose is to detect back button activity on a page-by-page basis.

Code Sample

<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.1.1/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>

YUI({
    //Last Gallery Build of this module
    gallery: 'gallery-2010.05.19-19-08'
}).use('gallery-back-button', function(Y) {
 
  // #bb-data is a hidden text input
  var BB = new Y.BackButton({storageNode: '#bb-data'});
 
  BB.add('foo', 'bar');
 
  BB.on('return', function (e) {
    alert(e.data.foo);  // => 'bar'
  });
 
});
